Ingredients

1 tbsp crushed red chili flakes
1/4 cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic (peeled and thinly sliced)
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1
Add crushed red chili flakes to a small heat-safe bowl and set aside. Multiple varieties of red pepper flakes will work here.
2
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Once hot, add thinly sliced garlic and pan fry, stirring often, until garlic is just beginning to turn golden, approximately 2 minutes.
3
Stir in sesame seeds and cook an additional minute until garlic is crisp and toasty. Take care not to overcook the garlic as it will continue crisping once removed from heat.
4
Carefully transfer mixture to the red pepper flake bowl. Mix well and allow to cool.
5
Use as a dipping oil for dumplings or potstickers, as a base or drizzling oil for ramen noodle bowls and soups, and as a stir fry oil for sautéing veggies and protein. Enjoy!
